"Solstice Days" lyrics

You and I would speak of time's cold temper
ANd watching our sundials in the winter
When the sky was overcast
And the present felt like the past
Walking down a road says do not enter

Underneath the naked oaks and maples
Ravens speak their minds on the phone cables
And it might be an argument
But time is better spent
So I'll just lay my cards on the table

I miss you on these long dark solstice days
When our conversation came in waves
And now our love is in a shallow grave
But my memories remain always
I miss you on these long dark solstice days

I'd study your breath in late December
Like a cigarette I still remember
How it moved against the wind
And I used to know you then
Back before the world forced our surrender

I miss you on these long dark solstice days
When our conversation came in waves
And now our love is in a shallow grave
But my memories remain always
I miss you on these long dark solstice days
I miss you on these long dark solstice days
I miss you on these long dark solstice days
